Who knows, this could be my last go around with this sort of Summer.
That’s the one thing about being in your 90’s, you just don’t know which day is your last.
And that’s not a morbid thing as much as it’s just my reality. I’m in pretty wonderful mental shape for 92. And as far as my body goes, it’s about worn down. So I pretty much stay inside the central air conditioning much of the Summer these mornings. It’s not so bad as I’m not a large heat and humidity enthusiast either… Plus, my associate and I have a sunroom off the back of the house that has a ductless heat pump. That little wonder of Heating, Ventilation, and A/C technology does a good job of providing crisp, cooling comfort in the sunroom. It’s really just a large deal for me to have air conditioning at all. I’m seasoned enough to remember a time when there was no such thing as residential Heating, Ventilation, and A/C. And I grew up down here where the heat and humidity have always been rough over the Summer months and into November. I can remember the mornings back when air conditioning was something that my associate and I really went to experience. I grew up in a rural farming community and we’d heard of air conditioning. There was a department store about an hour away by car that really had some form of commercial Heating, Ventilation, and A/C. I still remember the very first time I walked from the broiling, moist heat of Summer right into the cooling comfort of air conditioning. It honestly felt like a bit of magic to me. I’ve seen a lot of convenience some along that I could do without. But having air conditioning sure wasn’t one of them.
